Learning first aid can help your pet live a long life.

Chartiers Custom Pet Cremation  is sponsoring two instructional classes on August 17 at the Bridgeville Public Library.

Pet First Aid Class

August 17, Introductory Class, 11:30 to 1:00 pm
Bridgeville Public Library

Since June 2011, Chartiers Custom Pet Cremation has sponsored pet first aid introductory and certification classes in Bridgeville and surrounding communities in the south and west of Pittsburgh. Although there is usually a charge for attending these classes, Chartiers Custom Pet Cremation is offering these sessions free of charge in an attempt to offer families the skills they can use to help save the life of their dear pet. Read more about the classes in this post.

Classes will be instructed by Karen Sable, owner of Pet Emergency Training, LLC.

Even though the classes are free, because of limited seating and preparation of any materials from the instructors you need to RSVP for each class by calling Deb at 412-220-7800.
